Corbin's baptism day

These are the members of my family that were able to attend (from left to right: Amber, Monique, Autumn, Mom, Dad, Me, Adri, Michael.  In front: Brityn, Corbin & Boston).  They travelled a long distance and had to go through some "fun" experiences to get here and back.  I really missed all their kids, but it was nice to have them here.  It meant the world to me that they were able to be here for this important day.  Thanks for your sacrifices everyone!  Aunt Amber gave him a zipper tie, and Aunt Autumn gave him a CTR ring, and a baseball tie tac.

Boston wondered when it was his turn to get baptized.  He wanted in that water sooooo bad.  By the end of the baptism he was crying to be baptized.  He retaliated by peeing his pants and then mouthing to me (no sound, just lips moving) from across the room "Mom, I peed my pants".  Little stink.

I got very emotional when Corbin came up out of the water.  I am so proud of him and the boy he is becoming.  Kevin just about had to dive down under the water to unplug the drain.

We got to the church a little early to take pictures and to set up a video.  We watched part of "The Miracles of Jesus" while the boys were getting changed.

Grandma and Grandpa Stream always do whatever they can to be here on special and important days.  They gave Corbin a cool tie, and a Chinese Book of Mormon (Corbin is fixated on all things Chinese).  He has his heart set on a mission to China.  They also wrote their testimonies down for him to keep in his scriptures.

Grandma and Grandpa Wade were here too.  My children are so blessed to have both sets of Grandparents so strong in the gospel and so supportive of our little family.  They gave Corbin a scripture case with his very own scriptures.  His favorite part was his name that was engraved on the front of them. Jenise (Kevin's sister) & Shawn and family were there also.  I didn't realize until now that I did not get a picture of them (you can however refer to Corbin's birthday post where they are pictured! :0))

Uncle Michael gave a talk on Baptism, and I talked on the Gift of the Holy Ghost.  He did a great job.  Michael spent all of Sunday with the missionaries from our area.  I think he felt more in his element with them than chillin' and hanging out at my house all day.  He had a great time.

I hope and pray that we can instill in our son the desire to learn and live the gospel, to do the right thing even when it's hard, and to be kind and loving to all of Heavenly Father's children. I hope he knows that there is no place I would rather be than at home being his mommy.

Our little family before the baptism.  What a beautiful day it was!

We had many friends that also attended the baptism.  We are so blessed to have such a wonderful family, and good friends.  Thank you everyone for your love and support.  It means so much to us.
